Bob Evans Refrigerated Original Mashed Potatoes: A Review

Are They as Good as Homemade Mashed Potatoes?

The people at Bob Evans Farms have come out with a mashed potato side dish that is just wonderful! The taste is buttery and homemade, and the texture is smooth and creamy.

I found these Bob Evans Original Mashed Potatoes in the refrigerated section at my grocery store. I was planning to have pork chops for dinner and I really wanted mashed potatoes as a side item. The problem was, my daughter doesn't like potatoes and I really didn't feel like making two separate side items. Also, the thought of peeling, slicing, boiling, and mashing potatoes for one person seemed like a lot of work, especially if I'd be forced to eat it as leftovers several more times until they were gone.

Occasionally, my daughter would eat potatoes if there were gravy on them, but that composed a whole other issue. I guess I'd just go with macaroni and cheese if I didn't come up with anything else.

I spotted a brand of pre-made mashed potatoes that I'd tried before but wasn't thrilled with. I passed them by thinking I'd check out what was available in the frozen food section that I could use instead.

I passed the meat section as I headed to the frozen foods area and by chance, I spotted Bob Evans Original Mashed Potatoes. They were not on sale, and their regular price at that store was $3.99. That was more than I would have liked to pay. I conjured up what I could recall about Bob Evan's food products. Bob Evan's sausage was all I could remember having had from them, but I liked it.

Then I recalled eating at Bob Evan's restaurant, and I was pretty sure I liked the food I had there. I decided it was worth a shot.
